Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine For
November.

The motto on the cover page of the
November number of Frank Leslie's
Sunday Magazine, a journal of refined,
useful and interesting literature, is
we'll carried out in the number. The
articles, long and short, bear this char
acter. The serious illustrated papers
naturally demand the first attention.
"Vesta and the Vestals," by Mark F.
Vallette, is very interesting, and the
illustrations picture some recent dis.
coveries in Rome. "Sir Phillip Sid
ney," by Edmund Gosse, with a por-
trait and views of his home at Pens
hurst, is a charming study. "a Walk
in the Faroes' gives life-like picture
of these unfreqnented islands, and No
81 Ruthveu's "A Dash Through the
Green 1sle,' is very entertaining re-
cord of a hasty journal through Ire
land. "Tho Gospel in Egypt" is a
most important article. It is by Miss
NJ. l.. Whately, the daughter of the
late Archbishop Whately, of Dublin,
and shows the remarkable success
achieved in Egypt by one devoted wo-
man. DR.. Talmage's sermon is on the
"Employments of Heaven" and edi-
torially he discusses "Holy Curiosity"
"Onr Own Condition." ''The Mega
tive" and "Our Church and No 9th
or" The two long articles are CON
tinued, and there are two good short
stories. Several good poems aud
many short articles make up an excel
lent number of this favorite family

In 4rief, and to the Point,

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated aud won
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, aud many other
things which ought not to be, have
made the American people nation of
dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that thew
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember No happiness without
health. Bht Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a
bottle. seventy-tive cents.

JAMES JEFFRIES Chairman
rhe' 'j California Bubble Hubble

The Dallas Ners learns from a gentle
man and leading citizen of that place
who has Just returned from an extended
tour through California, that at many
points in the State visited by him he
found many laboring men idle and very
anxious to get out of the country. He
makes mention of San Diego as the city
of "land men" and wholly in the hands of
capitalists, and that the present condition
of the Golden State is not the least invi-
ting to men of limited means. In corro-
boration CT this we wonld state that Mr..
Edgar Tally, of this city, q shrewd and
observant young man, has recently re-
turned from Los Angeles, where he re-
manned several weeks for the benefit of
his health. He reports that from all he
could gather by listening to the CONVEX
sation of apparently intelligent men, it is
certainly "On the cards" that the boom
will collapse in the early port of the COM
ing year, when the third and last pay
ments will be due on property purchased
ut very high figures and which many buy
ers will no. be able to meet.-[Shreveport
Journal.
| In this respect we would state that
two OF Rapides sons OF late have loca-
ted in San Diego, and are doing we'll
in fact making money. In their
correspondence with relatives here,
they seem te have the greatest conf
dence in the boom there, and almost
say in so many words, "bundle up anil
come out" Assswe understand the
matter, it is this way-men with money
andsa certain amount of business get
up can 60 and locate and make money
most anywhere. Yes,'' we will dare
say this cannot be denied. Then, why
is it so much fuss and racket is made
over this California bnbbleY .Louisi-
ana, Rapides Parish, is good enough.
And we advise all who have any idea
of going to the "golden shore" to stay
here. The boom out in California
will burst, and when it does, why stand
from under. Put the same money and
men in Rapides, and you'll see We
are satisfied right here.
